Really great atmosphere. Very high end furniture and classical style decor. This is within a hotel. I enjoy the patio late at night. Coffee would be $1 price higher than most coffee places but not crazy. Pretty comparable beverages to most places. Cocktails are pretty good too.You will get 4hr long parking validation to part within the paid parking spaces

Randomly found this spot on the maps! Simona Coffee and Cocktails is such a charming spot! It has the perfect blend of cute and cozy, making it ideal for working or studying. The upstairs area has a modern library vibe, complete with comfortable seating that encourages you to focus.We tried the Tom's Diner latte and the From Eden cocktail, and both were fantastic. The cocktail was refreshing, a perfect balance of flavors. But let's talk about that latte--if you're a fig lover, Tom's Diner will blow your mind. I've never had a latte like it before; it's so unique, rich, and full of flavor that I'm still thinking about it. Truly one-of-a-kind!

One of the few places in Austin that has maintained quality over the years and remains my go-to coffee shop to meet up with people or just read a book. The service is quick and friendly, there are bakery items including an option or two for gluten-free folks like me, and now even a food truck with freshly prepared tacos! The furniture is comfortable, the noise level allows proper conversation, and the patio is beautiful.

Great place to co-work with friends or on your own. Simona's is located behind the Colton House hotel.There is free parking in the garage with your purchase. Just let the cashier know you need parking validation!The space is filled with modern, clean furniture. Absolutely beautiful. High and low tops downstairs, and couches and high tops upstairs. There's also a ton of seating in the backyard outside. Tacos are great, and love that you can get both coffee, teas and cocktails. I get alot of work and meetings done here! Highly recommend in the South Austin area.

Simona's Coffee and Bar, located inside the Colton House Hotel, is such a charming spot! The interior is super cute and modern, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. They also validate parking if you buy a drink, which is a nice perk.As someone who doesn't drink coffee or alcohol very much, I appreciated their variety of teas and non-alcoholic beverages--plenty of options for everyone. This would be a great place for a first date or just to hang out with friends. The intimate and stylish vibe makes it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some good company. Definitely worth a visit!

I've been to Simona's a few times, and I've always been happy with the experience! Parking lot is a little weird and small, but the bar validates parking up to 4 hours, which makes up for it. The menu itself is not extensive, but it has some classics and some delicious cocktails. Coffee, as well! Service is quick and the bartenders are friendly and always happy to give you a personal recommendation when stuck between a few options. The vibes are immaculate, as well. The decor and design inside is perfection. If you are ever in the area, I recommend checking it out!

Simona's is the perfect setting for your next study date, friend date, or solo coffee date! The cafe is located inside the Colton House Hotel, just south of SoCo, and offers validated parking (I believe up to 2-3hr). My favorite part about Simona's is easily the vibes and aesthetics. Between the layout, the furniture, the music... someone clearly put a lot of thought and effort into elevating the look n feel of this cafe. Even the tiles in the bathroom got me thinking about how I can cop their style for my own home! There's ample indoor seating, both upstairs and downstairs, and every corner is immaculately decorated. Be warned, though -- a gorgy place like this won't stay secret for long and is bound to blow up with influencers.I've only been in for coffee, but Simona's also has cocktails and food. If their espresso drinks are any indication of their other offerings, I'll definitely be coming back for more. Staff are super chill and always seem to be chatting up regulars at the bar. Be back soon!!

Simona's, the bar inside Colton House, offers a delightful experience for those seeking a casual yet elegant spot to unwind with a drink. The outdoor patio, boasting a stunning view of the sunset and the pool area, sets the stage for a perfect al fresco evening.DOG FRIENDLY! One standout feature of Simona's is its unwavering commitment to being dog-friendly both inside and outside the hotel, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all patrons. I had my dog with me, and she thoroughly enjoyed her time hanging out and socializing with another friendly pup in attendance that afternoon. This adds an extra layer of charm to the place, making it not only a human-friendly but also a pet-friendly establishment.COOL VIBES! The cool vibe and friendly staff contribute to the overall positive ambiance, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a drink or two. While the cocktails and wines are described as delicious, it's worth noting that the prices lean towards the higher end. For instance, a glass of sparkling rosé and the tempting cocktails each come with a price tag of around $16. Despite the cost, the bartender, whose name unfortunately wasn't obtained, was praised for being really nice and friendly.FREE PARKING! A suggestion for improvement is the potential introduction of a happy hour in the future, which could further enhance the appeal for patrons looking for a more budget-friendly experience. On the bright side, the availability of plenty of free validated parking is a significant plus, making Simona's a convenient choice for those looking to relax without the hassle of parking concerns. Overall, Simona's at Colton House is a fantastic spot for a drink, offering a perfect blend of atmosphere, views, hospitality, and a pet-friendly environment.

A good place to co work, meet up with friends or more formal setting to chill.It's located inside a hotel and took a while to walk to if youre entering from the lobby.I like their latte and they also have some pastries options. There is outdoor seating which is great on a nice weather day, there are some greenery to look at which ease the eyes and feel like a tropical oasis almost. It is quite a busy place so if youre taking a meeting, there might be chatter in the background and music. I'd definitely come back if I need to work with a friend or group.

I used to live in this neighborhood before all the changes on South Congress (sigh), and so when I was back in the area recently, I decided to check out some of the newer and work for a couple of hours from this hotel coffeeshop. It was pleasant enough, my latte was a standard, slightly overpriced but otherwise unobjectionable latte. The garage parking is validated if you ask the barista and is free if you are only there for less than a couple hours. In the actual coffee shop, the number of seats is pretty limited inside (especially if you need an outlet), so planning on actually getting a spot to sit and work seems a bit of a gamble.
